We are a Christian church. We focus on a relationship with Jesus more than denomination. We like to say we are multi-denominational because we have people fro all denominations come to our church. It’s not about religion, it’s about relationship.
We’re a Pastor / Staff Lead Church
We’re all about leadership and growth. Our church is structured to reach the most people for Jesus with the resources we have. We believe that the pastor’s job is to equip the people to do the works of the ministry. This structure allows our members to have opportunities to serve people and be fulfilled in what God has called them to do. One of our core values is, “Saved People, Serve People.” We know that people who are saved and serving are some of the most satisfied people at church!
Journey Church offers something for everyone. No matter where you’re at in life, find a church family that can love you by celebrating with you in the good times and support you through difficult times.

Journey Church in Pineville, Louisiana, has a compelling history marked by growth and transformation. Its origins trace back to 2006 when Pastor James Greer served as the interim pastor at Lee Heights Baptist Church in Tioga, LA, which had a modest congregation of just 12 members at the time. Under Pastor Greer's leadership, the church began to flourish, leading to its renaming as Lee Heights Family Church. By 2009, the increasing attendance necessitated a larger space, prompting the acquisition of a new property on Donahue Ferry Road in Pineville. This move marked the church's transition to its current identity as Journey Church, symbolizing the congregation's ongoing spiritual journey.
We are a Bible-believing church. We believe the Bible is the perfect truth of God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He died for our sins.
Relationship with God only comes from accepting Christ as our Lord and Savior. Romans 3:23-26
Salvation comes by grace through faith and not good deeds. Ephesians 1:7
We seek for Journey Church to be a place of refuge and love.
We seek to be a family of believers that encourages, strengthens, and loves on another as God has called us to do.
We believe that we all can grow through encouragement and acceptance while allowing the Holy Spirit to do the changing in our lives.
